ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
In accordance with Section
610(b)(2) of the Millennium Challenge
Act of 2003 (22 U.S.C. 7701–7718) as
amended (the Act), and the heading
‘‘Millennium Challenge Corporation’’ of

Appropriations Act, 2015, the
Millennium Challenge Corporation
(MCC) is publishing a summary of the
Millennium Challenge Compact
between the United States of America,
acting through the Millennium
Challenge Corporation, and the
Kingdom of Morocco. Representatives of
the United States Government and
Morocco executed the Compact
documents on November 30, 2015. The

Vice President and General Counsel,
Millennium Challenge Corporation.
Summary of Millennium Challenge
Compact With the Kingdom of Morocco
Overview
MCC has signed a five-year, $450
million compact with the Government
of Morocco (GoM) aimed at reducing
poverty through economic growth. The
compact seeks to assist the GoM in
addressing two major constraints to
economic growth: Education quality and
land productivity, with an approach and
methodology that incorporate the core
issues of government and public-private
coordination.
Program Overview and Budget
Morocco was selected for compact
eligibility in December 2012, and the
subsequent constraints analysis
identified (i) education quality; (ii) land
policy and implementation (with
qualitatively different issues for rural
areas and industrial land); and (iii)
governance, notably labor market
regulations, taxes, and the judiciary
system as binding constraints to
economic growth and investment. In
addition, the analysis identified the
effectiveness of the Moroccan
government’s level of coordination as an
E:\FR\FM\14DEN1.SGM
14DEN1
77378
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 239 / Monday, December 14, 2015 / Notices
overarching issue that directly impacts
the binding constraints identified and
the efforts of the GoM to address them,
resulting in low productivity of
government investment.
The land and education sectors
represent binding constraints to growth
and provide opportunities to develop
policy responses to both the supply and
demand for skilled labor. The compact
directly addresses the root causes of
these binding constraints, which are:
(1) Secondary education and
workforce development systems that
produce a supply of workers that do not
adequately meet private sector skills
demand, and
(2) Land policy and implementation
that inhibit access to and productive
uses of rural and industrial land, thus
diminishing investment and consequent
demand for labor.
By improving the policy and
institutional environment, and creating
models to engage the private sector, the
two projects will address both the
supply and demand sides of the labor
market. Both projects support the shift
from static, state-led systems to
competitive, dynamic systems that
engage the private sector and respond to
market needs. Further, both projects
take a targeted approach to developing
and demonstrating new models, and
building capacity so that those models
can be replicated and scaled up postcompact.
The budget for the compact is $450
million, not including the contribution
by the GoM of approximately $67.5
million or 15 percent of the U.S.
contribution, allocated as follows (all
figures are approximate due to
rounding):

The Education and Training for
Employability Project aims to increase
the employability and employment rate
of Moroccans by improving the quality
and relevance of, and equitable access
to, secondary education and workforce
development programs in response to
private sector needs. Given significant
social and gender inequalities in
Morocco, a concerted effort has been
made to ensure that the Education and
Training for Employability Project
results in equitable outcomes for both
girls and boys and reduces social,
gender, and geographically-based
inequalities.
The Land Productivity Project aims to
increase land productivity in Morocco
by enabling land markets to better
respond to investor demand and by
strengthening the enabling environment
for investment

two activities aimed at increasing the
employability and employment rate of
Moroccans by improving the quality and

relevance of, and equitable access to,
secondary education and workforce
development programs in response to
private sector needs.
1. Secondary Education Activity. The
Secondary Education Activity aims to
demonstrate a new cost-effective,
sustainable, and scalable model of
public secondary schools for delivering
quality secondary education focused on
the employability competencies needed
for the modern workforce. It will also
support key reforms to improve system
performance management. The model
will be piloted and rigorously evaluated
in approximately 90–110 schools, which
will receive a multi-faceted package of
interventions in the three key areas of
school management, pedagogy, and
infrastructure. This package will
support schools in meeting the terms of
new performance contracts and will also
work to create an enhanced learning
environment for students that better
meets their developmental needs, and
better prepares them for tertiary
education or entry into the labor market.
MCC funding will also support the
development, planning, and
implementation of rigorous
PO 00000
Frm 00065

international and national assessments
of student learning, and the utilization
of assessment data to inform decisions
for improving performance. MCC
funding will additionally support the
development and piloting of a new
approach to school infrastructure and
information technology operations and
maintenance, through private sector
performance contracts in these areas.
2. Workforce Development Activity.
The Workforce Development Activity
aims to increase the employability of
Moroccans by: Improving the quality
and relevance of, and equitable access
to, private sector-driven technical and
vocational education and training
(TVET). The activity will also provide:
(i) Technical assistance to develop and
implement demand-driven TVET sector
policy; (ii) effective employment
services to help unemployed or
economically inactive women as well as
at-risk urban and peri-urban youth to
obtain quality jobs; and (iii) support to
a labor market observatory that will
provide dynamic labor market
information to improve decision-making
for public policy and private
investment.

An MCC- and GoM-funded grant
facility will support selected private
sector-driven training centers by issuing
grants for infrastructure, equipment, and
technical assistance. Additionally,
results-based incentive mechanisms,
such as social impact bonds, will be
used to support promising programs
that provide integrated job placement
services for women and at-risk urban
youth. MCC funding will also support
the development and implementation of
rigorous impact evaluations to test other
non-MCC funded promising labor
market interventions.
Land Productivity Project
The project aims to increase land
productivity in Morocco by enabling
land markets to better respond to
investor demand and by strengthening
the enabling environment for
investment. To achieve this objective,
MCC funding will support the following
activities:
1. Governance Activity. The
Governance Activity is designed to
support the development and
implementation of a long-term land
productivity strategy to address
governance and land market constraints
to investment and productivity. Once
the strategy and roadmap to its
implementation are in place, the activity
will finance implementation of key
elements of the roadmap.
2. Rural Land Activity. The Rural
Land Activity aims to increase rural
productivity by making the GoM’s
current process for privatizing irrigated
collective lands more inclusive and less
time-consuming. The activity will (i)
develop procedures for privatization of
irrigated collective land that can be
implemented within three years or less;
(ii) use these improved procedures to
support the privatization of up to 46,000
hectares of collective land within
Morocco’s Gharb region; and (iii)
develop and apply tools to address other
land-related root causes of low
productivity identified during due
diligence, such as minimum parcel size
requirements. The activity will engage
in extensive consultations and outreach
in the region of intervention and will
develop and apply fair and inclusive
land allocation criteria that protect the
rights of land holders, including
women.
3. Industrial Land Activity. The
Industrial Land Activity aims to
transform the way the GoM brings
industrial land to market, from a stateto a market-driven approach, through
the development of a new model for
industrial zone development. By using
public-private partnerships for
industrial land development, the
activity seeks to encourage private
sector participation in the development
and management of industrial zones,
and to ensure that such development
and management responds to private
sector demand in terms of location, land
offering, infrastructure and site and
social services.
